kate?as also seen a recent increase in cases. what's happening there, rosa? >> reporter: if you look at daily number of cases it might seeming alarming but for several days we've seen 1,000 cases registered and if you look at the number of cases posted by florida, you'll see sometimes 20,000, 30,000, 40,000 cases have been posted so a better metric is to look at the percentage positive, just how many positive cases per day by percentage, and if you look at that graph, you'll actually see that the line is pretty steady for the past two weeks between 3% and 4%. the other very important metric are hospitalizations of the right now, according to the state of florida, is 25% of beds are available. that's the key metric. governor ron desantis has mentioned from the get-go that's one of the metrix he'll look at and will continue to look at as the reopening of florida continues. right now we're in phase two. elective surgeries were allowed in early may to resume, and so that, of course, increases t

kate brower, any comment? >> well, you know,i don't exactly that obama had the same reaction as president trump has had on twitter and, you know, speaking to the point of immigration, one thing that i found really interesting is when i spoke to a spokesman to the bush family, they said we had -- they have naturalization ceremonies at the bush center and now when they have them, there's always a concern that president trump will see that and some way rebuke to him or in some way antagonizing him when really these are just things that they would do anyway, so now even very simple things are kind of seen as attacks on the president. if you speak up about freedom of the press, are you criticizing president trump, you know, you're not, but president trump sometimes takes these things very personally, so i don't think that really answers her question, but it made me think of that. >> a book event on friday you indicated that the trump library would be in florida and not in new york city, can you explain? >> well, wh

kate? >> elizabeth cohen pointed out in the last hour there's concerning data out about the status of contact tracers. in arizona and other hotspots. >> reporter: and this is such a huge part of it and you've seen it in very large states where california's ramping up to be able to call people saying, hey, listen, you were in contact with somebody that tested positive. we want to make sure that you have the resources and quarantining. based on the new information coming out to us, arizona has five contact tracers per 100,000 people and based on the research saying they should have about 30 people dedicated to that so well below those numbers here. that means that potentially someone could test positive but the people around them are not getting that call to alert them to the fact that they could in fact be also positive and that they need to get tested. and that is a huge part of the concern of this community spread if people aren't getting word of that and if they're asymptomatic taking the

kate, last thought on this?indicated that they do not want to reintroduce austerity but as mentioned, they have promised a lot of spending on top of normal public spending in the march budget and we are now seeing that elsewhere embedding ina are now seeing that elsewhere embedding in a lot of day—to—day spending, so there may be room to cut back but i think cuts to public spending are actually going to be something they try to avoid but it does mean really difficult decisions. if you want to cut tax and cut public spending, are you willing to go back to having the structural deficit and borrowing year on year not knowing when you will pay it back? it's not very financially responsible which is what this conservative government said it would be. an interesting story in the guardian and we will talk a lot about whether the government reduces social distancing which is regarded as key if we are going to get pubs and restaurants open again on the 4th ofjuly which some of the papers are suggesting is the target date

thank you. >> hello, kate.my understanding right now is if they do not have any cases they are not doing proactive testing. that is changing and we are working to do the proactive testing even if there are no cases in ourth nursing facilitis but that has not happened other than the states facilities that are run by my department. now we are doing the work to work with all those other nursing homes to do the additional testing proactively. again if there is one in those facilities but until they find a case folks are not doing that proactive testing and we are now starting the network with everyone for our state facilities now doing that work in our skilled nursing facilities. >> thank you, kate. next question please. >> our next question is rose [inaudible] with eric carolina health news. >> hello. i have a couple of questionson. one is are we ever going to see demographic data by county and i think there are some counties where the demographics are getting covid and who are ending up in hospital and are very d

our program today focus on a fascinating new book by kate greene. it's called "once upon a time i lived on mars." in 2013, she was the crew writer and second-in-command on a four-month simulated mars mission for the nasa funded high seas project. her book is a vivid chronicle of that experience here she is a poet, essays, former laser physicist whose science journalism has appeared in major publications around the world. she has taught writing at numerous universities and that i and ear for expressive writing are very much in evidence in her new book. it's a beautifully written book. both upload street at a total absorbing account of her many months of isolation in nasa's simulation of a mars mission pitched 8000 feet up the hawaiian volcano. it was some plan this way of course, but publish now and a time when the whole world is sheltering in place because of the coronavirus pandemic, her book tells a great deal about the effects, physical, mental, social, even spiritual, of forced isolation. welcome. >> thank you so much for having me. thank you so

so, kate, not much to add. i think that in general as we look at things starting to open back up, people will be starting to get more services, you know, looking at having the elective procedures that have been put on hold, to start having those done. we are starting to see some of that coming back as well. but for a long term as kate said, it's something that we all need to watch very closely and we'll be working with our internal (indiscernible) to determine what that does to future terms. >> it would be my expectation that given that 2022 rates will be developed off of how plan experience changes in 2019 to 2020, that any lower claim experience that may evolve through 2020, would be reflected in the 2022 rating process for the kaiser plan. >> supervisor preston, i will add that we do regular check-ins with your actuary mike clarke and so there will be information as we're receiving information and we'll be providing that to them. and so we'll be able to monitor that more closely in the coming months. >> comm
